Hi,
many of us use bonnie (amongst other programs) to test the speed of a
filesystem, the devices, the device drivers, the buffer cache, the memory or
the glibc.
I had some patches, but could not reach the author (Tim Bray).
So, I set up a web page
http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/bonnie/
with my new version of bonnie, which features a few goodies compared to the
latest bigbonnie I found out there in the net:
* breakhandler that deletes the test files created in case bonnie gets
interrupted
* output a warning if the test file size is smaller than the amount of
memory -- this will probably yield numbers that are much better
than the actual speed of the device
* option -y to use fsync() after data has been written
* slightly improved option parsing
* options -p and -S to influence the seeker params
* machine name defaults to the hostname
* option -u to use getc_/putc_unlocked() instead of getc/putc()
I hope, it still compiles on all platforms -- I could only test Linux on
various archs and DEC-Unix 4.
Enjoy,
